Quantitative Aptitude

Ram sold a motorcycle for

₹ 70000

at

25 \%

profit. For what price should he sell a motorcycle to gain

30 \%

profit?

₹ 72900
₹ 72600
₹ 72800
₹ 72700

Solution:

S.P of motorcycle

=₹ 70000

Profit

(\P)=25 \%

Then,

{\CP}={{\SP}}/{(100+\P)} \×100

={70000}/{100+25} \×100

={70000}/{125} \×100

=₹ 56,000

Now, new profit

(\P_{1})=30 \%

New,

{\SP}={\CP} \×{(100+\P_{1})}/{100}

=56000 \×({100+30}/{100})

=560 \×{130}/{1}

=₹ 72800
